Shakes & Sprinkles is an ice cream shop on Level 2 at Store P26/7 Catherine Street in Henderson, Auckland, holding a 4.7 rating from 34 Google reviews. Reviewers single out the fresh, crispy egg waffles and a raspberry sherbet that pairs with the soft serve, with thick shakes mentioned most often, alongside bubble tea and unicorn ice cream.
The mark of a good ice cream shop is freshness: waffles and cones made to order keep their snap, while ones that sit around quickly go soggy. A strong counter also balances rich soft serve with something tart, because a sherbet or sorbet cuts through the sweetness. Regulars tend to ask what is made on the premises, and a thick shake remains the dependable pick when the menu runs long.
For anyone in West Auckland, it makes a sweet, easy stop on Catherine Street in the middle of Henderson.
